Advanced Usage

For Developers: YAML Templates

If you prefer working with code, you can create resumes using YAML files:

Example YAML Structure:

- name: Skills
  type: dynamic-column-list
  content:
    - Python
    - Data Analysis
    - Team Management

Supported Section Types:

• text: Single-paragraph content
• bulleted-list: Traditional bullet points
• inline-list: Horizontal, comma-separated list
• icon-list: List with optional icons
• dynamic-column-list: Auto-adjusting columns
• experience: Job history with details
• education: Academic qualifications

Local Development

Quick Setup:

git clone https://github.com/aafre/resume-builder.git
cd resume-builder

# For the React Frontend: 
cd resume-builder-ui
npm install
npm run dev

Docker for running backend:

# API Backend
docker build -t resume-api -f Dockerfile.dev.api .
docker run -p 5000:5000 resume-api

# For direct PDF generation (without API)
python resume_generator.py --template modern --input samples/modern/john_doe.yml --output output/resume.pdf

# Run Flask API 
python app.py 

At this point the frontend should work with the backend locally.
